Von Schweikert VR4 vs later models?

I have the opportunity to purchase a pair of VR4 generation 1 speakers and am curious to those who have had the experience with how they sound in comparison to later model VS that I am familiar with; specifically the VR4 Jrs and VR5HSE. I've never heard the VR4s before but every review is glowing with some preferring them to later models. Any caveats on their purchase?

Have not heard the VR4's, I have the JR's and have listened to the VR5's. If the above comment is true, you certainly are in for a treat with the VR4's.
As I love my speakers, and indeed feel you would have too spend much more to get as good a music maker.

I have the 5HSE's which are amazing. I replaced Audio Physic Virgo II's. It took me a long time to find something that I really like better than the Virgo's.

(i often see 'em around $1500 or less),

Is that a typo?

Well, I picked up my new (to me) VR4s today and really love their sound. Upon initial listening I think I prefer them to my previous VR4 Jr's and VR5HSE's. HUGE soundstage! Thanks to all who chimed in.

Don't 'deposit' either, it's dangerous.
Been there, done that...
